[00:06] Nar
    It appeared as though humanity
    would be destroyed by the demons.
[00:14] Nar
    But a single mage saved them all.
[00:26] Nar
    He was called the Wizard King,
    and he became a legend.
[00:34] Nar
    Asta visited Nean, the town where
    Rebecca and her siblings lived,
[00:38] Nar
    but it turned out to be where Gauche's
    beloved little sister Marie lived, as well.
[00:43] Asta
    All right! Are you read—
[00:46] Marie
    Huh? What?
[00:47] Gauche
    Get away from her this instant, you trash!
[00:50] Nar
    That night, a certain incident struck Nean.
[00:56] Gauche
    Die, Asta.
[01:01] Asta
    That's not even your house!
[01:06] Asta
    Snow? When did it pile up so much?
[01:09] Asta
    It's not even the season for that yet.
[01:10] Rebecca
    Hey! What do you two think you're doing?!
[01:13] Rebecca
    The kids are gone!
[01:23] Neige
    Starting today,
[01:25] Neige
    you're all my friends.
SIGN    Pursuit Over the Snow
[03:00] Rebecca
    Luca, Marco, where could
    you have gone at this hour?
[03:05] Dad
    Barshim!
[03:06] Mom
    Helen, where are you?
[03:08] Asta
    Guess they didn't just go out to pee—
[03:10] Gauche
    Die!
[03:13] Gauche
    I'll never let you marry my sister.
[03:15] Asta
    Now's not the time for that!
[03:18] Gauche
    There's nothing more important
    than Marie, damn it!
[03:20] Gauche
    I'll kill you!
[03:24] Noelle
    Hey, what the heck's going on in this town?
[03:29] Noelle
    Why is it snowing this time
    of year? This is absurd!
[03:33] Asta
    Noelle? What are you doing here?
[03:35] Noelle
    I-I just happened to be in the area.
    It's just a coincidence.
[03:39] Rebecca
    Who's this, Asta?
[03:41] Asta
    She's one of my Magic Knight buddies.
[03:43] Asta
    And Noelle, this is my friend Rebecca.
[03:45] Noelle
    Friend...
[03:46] Rebecca
    Buddy...
[03:47] Both
    Huh...
[03:49] Asta
    What's wrong?
[03:50] Noelle
    N-Nothing...
[03:52] Noelle
    More importantly,
[03:55] Noelle
    I saw a whole bunch of kids go
    up to the mountains earlier.
[03:58] Noelle
    What's that about?
[03:59] Noelle
    Do you guys have some
    festival this late at night?
[04:02] Rebecca
    That must be...
[04:04] Gauche
    I'm going to make you bleed.
[04:07] Theresa
    Stop it.
[04:09] Gauche
    Old hag...
[04:10] Asta
    The old Sister!
[04:12] Theresa
    I feel magical power in this snow.
[04:15] Theresa
    There is magic at work here.
[04:17] Theresa
    Magic that can control others...
[04:19] Theresa
    and that only affects children
    whose magic hasn't matured.
[04:22] All
    What?
[04:24] Theresa
    A number of ours were taken, too.
[04:27] Theresa
    What do they mean to do,
    taking all these children?
[04:30] Gauche
    Hey, old hag, what do you mean, "taken"?
[04:33] Gauche
    Don't tell me Marie was, too!
[04:36] Theresa
    Sadly, that is what I'm saying.
[04:38] Gauche
    You old hag!
[04:39] Sister
    Sister Theresa!
[04:40] Gauche
    How could you let that happen,
    you stupid old hag?!
[04:43] Sister
    Please stop!
[04:45] Theresa
    So quick to resort to violence...
    You really are a failure.
[04:49] Theresa
    If you want to hit me, go ahead.
[04:51] Theresa
    But that won't bring back the children.
    It won't bring back Marie.
[04:56] Gauche
    You're right.
[04:59] Gauche
    But I won't feel better until I do!
[05:04] Rebecca
    Asta! Are you all right?!
[05:06] Gauche
    Asta, you bastard.
[05:09] Asta
    Oh, come on now, Gauche.
[05:11] Asta
    Just cool down a little, okay?
[05:18] Asta
    A Magic Knight needs to
    stay calm at all times.
[05:23] Theresa
    Well, listen to you.
[05:27] Gauche
    Calm, eh? You're right.
[05:30] Asta
    So you finally understand?
[05:32] Gauche
    I'll calmly kill you.
[05:34] Asta
    I went too far!
[05:36] Gauche
    That hurt, you stupid little brat!
[05:39] Asta
    Wait, wait, wait!
    Now's not the time for this!
[05:41] Asta
    We need to find some clues!
[05:43] Gauche
    What? As if it'll be that easy!
[05:48] Gauche
    The magic mirror that I have Marie
    keep with her at all times...
[05:52] Gauche
    I wouldn't be able to transmit
    to it because of this snow,
[05:55] Gauche
    but if I search for the
    mana in that mirror...
[05:58] Gauche
    I should be able to figure out where she is.
[06:00] Asta
    That's it!
[06:01] Gauche
    All right! I may have figured
    that out, but I'm still killing you.
[06:06] Gauche
    I'll kill you while giving thanks.
[06:08] Theresa
    I'm going, as well. I'm going to get the
    kids from the church and the town back.
[06:13] Asta
    Old Sister, leave this to us.
[06:16] Gauche
    No. As much as it pains me to
    say it, this old hag will be useful.
[06:19] Asta
    Huh? She's not just an ordinary old lady?
[06:24] Theresa
    I'm not going to lose to
    you young'uns just yet.
[06:27] Rebecca
    Asta... Marco's an idiot and Luca's too
    headstrong, so I'm worried about them...
[06:33] Rebecca
    What should I do? If something
    were to happen to them...
[06:37] Asta
    Get a hold of yourself, Rebecca!
[06:38] Asta
    Take that!
[06:41] Asta
    It'll be fine! I'll get them
    back, no matter what!
[06:46] Asta
    They'll laugh at you if you're
    all panicky when we get back.
[06:51] Rebecca
    Y-You're right.
[06:56] Gauche
    Let's go.
[06:57] Noelle
    Hey, I'm going, too!
[06:59] Gauche
    You can't fly on your own either, can you?
    Do you want to dangle, like him?
[07:05] Theresa
    The town might be attacked again.
[07:08] Theresa
    Would you mind staying behind?
[07:11] Asta
    And could you report back
    to the Magic Knights?
[07:14] Rebecca
    I'm counting on you, Asta!
[07:17] Noelle
    I have to stay behind with her?
[07:35] Neige
    I'm so happy I made so many friends.
[07:39] Neige
    L-Let's all get along.
[07:54] Marie
    Where am I?
[07:55] Marie
    This isn't the church. What am I doing here?
[08:00] Marie
    Everyone seems out of it. What's wrong?
[08:04] Marie
    Who is that?
[08:04] Neige
    Make sure you stay good boys and
    girls with the spell I'm using.
[08:08] Marie
    Did he put a spell on everyone?
[08:11] Marie
    Come to think of it, Brother did say that
[08:15] Marie
    the mirror he gave me would
    protect me from magic a little.
[08:18] (Flashback) Gauche
    Hang on to this mirror as if it were me.
[08:20] Marie
    So that's why I...
[08:24] Neige
    Looks like my spell on you has been broken.
[08:28] Neige
    I wonder why. You bad little girl...
[08:31] Neige
    We can't be friends if you won't be
    a good girl and stay under my spell.
[08:38] Marie
    But you're wrong. Putting someone under
    a spell and making them do what you say
[08:42] Marie
    doesn't make them a real friend.
[08:46] Neige
    How could you say something so cruel?
[08:50] Neige
    A friend would never say that!
[08:57] Baro
    Neige...
[09:00] Baro
    I told you not to damage the goods.
[09:03] Baro
    Honestly, you're so hopeless.
[09:05] Neige
    I'm sorry, Baro!
[09:12] Baro
    She's the prize this time. Imagine
    having that much magic at her age!
[09:18] Baro
    Having this many brats means a big payday!
[09:24] Baro
    That brat barely has any magic.
[09:27] Baro
    I told you to only bring ones
    with a lot of magic, Neige!
[09:31] Neige
    Sorry, Baro.
[09:33] Baro
    Just gonna have to throw
    trash like this away.
[09:44] Baro
    Sheesh. Stop wasting my time.
[09:49] Baro
    Now, then... Let's draw the magic out of you.
[10:03] Gauche
    We're close. The mana's getting stronger.
[10:06] Asta
    Right!
[10:08] Theresa
    These enemies must possess
    powerful magic. Be on your guard.
[10:13] Gauche
    Wait for me, Marie.
[10:15] Asta
    Please be safe, everyone!
[10:28] Noelle
    Everyone, please stay calm.
    We, the Magic Knights, will find all the kids.
[10:34] Guy b
    The Magic Knights!
[10:36] Lady
    Please get my son back!
[10:39] Kai
    What's going on?
[10:40] Pim
    Where are Luca and Marco?
[10:42] Rebecca
    Well...
[10:43] Noelle
    Don't worry. Asta and Gauche
    will bring them all back soon.
[10:47] Rebecca
    Y-Yeah! So don't you worry.
[10:50] Kai
    Also...
[10:51] Kai
    Why's our house broken?
[10:53] Noelle
    S-Stupidsta and Gauche will fix
    that when they get back, too.
[10:57] Rebecca
    We should do what we can
    to fix it up for now.
[11:00] Pim
    There's snow everywhere inside.
[11:03] Noelle
    Oh, I need to contact
    the other Magic Knights.
[11:11] Sekke
    Magic Knights' Headquarters here, bah-ha!
[11:13] Noelle
    Haven't I seen you before?
[11:15] Noelle
    A-Are you really from headquarters?
[11:18] Sekke
    Bah-ha! It's not my main job, but
    Captain Jack ordered me to help out here.
[11:25] Sekke
    I've been doing so good lately that they're
    letting me take a break from all the battles.
[11:29] Sekke
    Or something like that, bah-ha!
[11:31] Noelle
    I don't care! We have an emergency!
[11:34] Noelle
    There's snow! There's snow in Nean!
[11:36] Sekke
    Snow? How romantic!
[11:38] Noelle
    Are you stupid?!
[11:40] Noelle
    Someone made this snow fall
    on the town using magic
[11:43] Noelle
    so they could kidnap all the kids here!
[11:45] Sekke
    What? You should hurry up and
    contact the Magic Knights.
[11:48] Noelle
    That's what I'm doing right now!
[11:51] Sekke
    R-Right!
[11:53] Sekke
    There's nothing to worry
    about anymore! Bah-ha!
[11:56] Noelle
    Somehow, I'm even more worried now.
[12:08] Gauche
    I sense mana in there.
[12:09] Theresa
    A cave. That must be where
    all the abducted children are!
[12:15] Asta
    That's...
[12:17] Asta
    Gauche, could you let me down a sec?
[12:20] Gauche
    Not my problem. I don't care
    about anyone besides Marie.
[12:24] Gauche
    If you want to go, then jump off.
[12:27] Asta
    Hup!
[12:34] Theresa
    Asta! How can you call
    yourself a Magic Knight?!
[12:42] Gauche
    I don't care what happens to the others,
    as long as I can protect Marie.
[12:48] Gauche
    On the day that I, a former prisoner,
    joined the Black Bulls, the captain told me...
[12:55] (Flashback) Yami
    You can just protect whoever
    you want to protect.
[13:00] Gauche
    And that's exactly what I'll be doing.
[13:03] Asta
    Marco!
[13:04] Theresa
    Wake up.
[13:06] Theresa
    This is awful. He's covered in
    wounds, and he's frostbitten.
[13:11] Theresa
    Marco?
[13:13] Theresa
    It's no use. He's under a spell
    and still unconscious.
[13:17] Asta
    All right... Leave it to me!
[13:21] Theresa
    What are you—
[13:29] Marco
    Huh? Asta... Sister...
[13:33] Asta
    Are you all right, Marco?
[13:34] Theresa
    What was that just now? He erased the magic?
[13:39] Marco
    It hurts...
[13:41] Theresa
    Just a second...
[13:43] Theresa
    Flame Recovery Magic: Sacred Healing Light.
[13:50] Marco
    It's so warm...
[13:52] Asta
    You're amazing, old lady!
    You can even heal wounds?
[13:56] Theresa
    What in the world happened?
[13:58] Marco
    I... don't know.
[14:01] Asta
    He's so hurt.
[14:03] Asta
    Marco...
[14:05] Asta
    We have to go save your
    sister and the other kids.
[14:09] Asta
    Can you wait in that cave by yourself?
[14:12] Marco
    Huh? No! I'm scared, Asta.
[14:16] Marco
    Stay with me, please.
[14:18] Asta
    What are you talking about?
    You're a man, too, aren't you?
[14:22] Asta
    Just this once, I'll let you
    borrow my Black Bulls robe!
[14:26] Asta
    As long as you have this on, you'll be fine!
[14:28] Asta
    It's got Magic Knight
    courage in it, after all!
[14:34] Asta
    You can wait until we get back, right?
[14:37] Marco
    Yeah!
[14:39] Asta
    But don't forget! I'm only
    letting you borrow it!
[14:42] Asta
    You're going to give it back to me later!
[14:44] Asta
    You'll give it back, right?
    And don't get any snot on it!
[14:46] Marco
    Y-Yup.
[14:48] Theresa
    All right, we have to hurry.
    I'm worried about the others.
[14:58] Gauche
    It's like a damn maze in here.
[15:00] Gauche
    But the mana's getting stronger and stronger.
[15:03] Gauche
    Just wait a little longer, Marie.
[15:13] Baro
    Good, good. More, more!
[15:16] Baro
    I'm going to squeeze every last
    drop of magic out of you brats!
[15:21] Baro
    And done.
[15:24] Baro
    Now, then... Are we going
    to use our prize next?
[15:31] Marie
    N-No! S-Stop!
[15:34] Marie
    Please! Let me go!
[15:36] Neige
    You can't defy Baro.
[15:40] Baro
    Just give it up. I'm gonna make
    a fortune off of your magic.
[15:48] Gauche
    Marie!
[15:52] Marie
    Brother!
[15:54] Gauche
    Thank goodness! You're sa—
[15:59] Gauche
    What did you do to Marie, you bastards?!
[16:06] Neige
    I-It's an enemy, Baro! He has
    a Magic Knight robe on!
[16:10] Baro
    Damn it! How'd they find us so quickly?
[16:14] Baro
    Do something! Use your magic, Neige!
[16:17] Neige
    R-Right.
[16:19] Neight
    Snow Magic: Snow Cry!
[16:22] Gauche
    Mirror Magic: Mirror Shift.
[16:27] Baro
    Wh-What the heck is that spell?!
[16:33] Neige
    I-I can't hit him at all!
[16:36] Gauche
    Marie!
[16:39] Baro
    H-Hurry up and use a
    different spell, you oaf!
[16:43] Neige
    S-Snow Creation Magic: Snow Friends!
[16:52] Neige
    Go, my friends!
[17:03] Gauche
    Damn it!
[17:06] Baro
    Defeating one or two won't make a difference!
[17:10] Baro
    Neige can keep creating an
    infinite number of these guys!
[17:14] Marie
    Brother!
[17:18] Gauche
    Give me a break!
[17:20] Gauche
    Mirror Magic:
[17:22] Gauche
    Reflect Refrain!
[17:29] Gauche
    Time for a massacre.
[17:43] Neige
    All of my friends...
[17:44] Neige
    That guy's too strong. And he's scary!
[17:48] Baro
    Damn it... This isn't what we were told about.
[17:52] Baro
    I only accepted this job
    because we were told that
[17:54] Baro
    it'd just be draining brats of their magic!
[17:57] Baro
    What's the deal with this guy's magic?!
[18:01] Neige
    What should we do, Baro?
[18:03] Baro
    Shut up, you moron!
[18:05] Baro
    Th-Think! There has to be some way! Something...
[18:18] Baro
    Move an inch, and see what happens to her!
[18:23] Gauche
    You bastard!
[18:25] Baro
    What's with that look?
[18:28] Baro
    What are you going to do
[18:29] Baro
    if I get annoyed and put a little
    too much strength into my grip?
[18:35] Baro
    Neige, beat him to a pulp—
[18:48] Baro
    Crap!
[18:51] Gauche
    Marie!
[19:06] Gauche
    Everything's okay now!
[19:08] Marie
    Thank you, Asta!
[19:10] Asta
    Are you okay, Marie?
[19:14] Asta
    Hey!
[19:14] ---
    Asta!
[19:16] Gauche
    You bastard! How dare you
    throw something so dangerous?!
[19:19] Gauche
    What if it had hit Marie?!
[19:21] Asta
    Wait, wait, wait. This was to save Marie.
[19:24] Asta
    More importantly, what if you had hit Marie?!
[19:28] Gauche
    There's no way I'd ever hit her.
[19:32] Gauche
    My love for Marie is too great.
[19:34] Asta
    Huh?!
[19:36] Marie
    Brother, please stop!
[19:37] Gauche
    Stay away, Marie!
[19:38] Marie
    No!
[19:41] Theresa
    These children have had their
    magic sucked out of them.
[19:46] Theresa
    If left like this, they may never
    be able to use magic again.
[19:50] Asta
    Th-Their magic...
[19:54] Theresa
    That man was saying how it'd
    be worth a lot of money.
[19:59] Asta
    How could you do something so cruel?
[20:02] Baro
    Crap. This is not good. Not good at all.
[20:05] Neige
    Baro?
[20:07] Baro
    We had enough on our hands
    with that monster of a guy,
[20:10] Baro
    but now that his friends have
    shown up, we don't stand a chance!
[20:15] Baro
    This boy...
[20:21] Baro
    What the heck? He doesn't
    have any magic at all!
[20:26] Baro
    Unbelievable! I've never
    seen trash like you!
[20:30] Baro
    Now that I take a closer look,
[20:32] Baro
    you're just some peon that doesn't
    even have a Magic Knight's robe!
[20:36] Baro
    Neige, you take care of
    that sister complex freak.
[20:39] Neige
    Huh?
[20:40] Baro
    I guess I'll just have to take
    care of this peon myself.
[20:58] Asta
    I won't...
[21:02] Asta
    forgive you!
SIGN    Petit Clover
[22:36] Baro
    Petit Clover!
SIGN    Staying Behind
[22:40] Both
    Staying Behind.
[22:44] Rebecca
    Luca... Marco...
[22:47] Noelle
    It'll be okay. I'm sure Asta and the
    others will bring them back safely.
[22:55] Noelle
    Why don't we do a quiz to lighten the mood?
[22:57] Rebecca
    Huh?
[23:01] Rebecca
    Then... Where is Asta from?
[23:06] Noelle
    H-Hage Village.
[23:07] Rebecca
    Correct.
[23:09] Noelle
    I'll go next.
[23:10] Noelle
    How old is Asta?
[23:13] Rebecca
    Fifteen, right?
[23:18] Rebecca
    Then when is Asta's birthday?
[23:20] Noelle
    October 4th.
[23:22] Noelle
    What is Asta's dream?
[23:25] Rebecca
    Becoming the Wizard King someday... I think.
[23:29] Noelle
    You're pretty knowledgeable.
[23:31] Rebecca
    You, too.
[23:34] Both
    I really don't want to lose!
[23:40] Sekke
    Hey, everyone, bah-ha!
[23:41] Sekke
    Oh, I can't hear you. Ready, and... bah-ha!
[23:44] Sekke
